DearGeorgy Valentinovich,

Atthe request of the six Social-Democratic deputies
I invite you to come for a few weeks to Zakopane in the
summer to deliver lectures on such questions of Marxism
and the Social-Democratic movement as yon may select.
We have heard today from Petersburg that it is also possible
that four deputies may come who support the liquidators
or who are wavering (Buryanov, Tulyakov, Khaustov andmaybeeven Mankov). As Mensheviks, they naturally
attribute particular importance to the question of your
participation.

Onour part, we should think it very useful that Party
people of various views should take part in an enterprise
which seems to us extremely important for strengthening
connections with the workers and reinforcing Party work.

Inview of the conspirative nature of the case, we have
decided not to tell a single group abroad about the plan
to organise these lectures—all the more so because the
deputies would probably be in peril of particularly severe
penalties.

Poronin,where it is proposed to hold the lectures, is
seven kilometres by rail from Zakopane—one of the best
mountain health resorts in Galicia. As to the financialside (travelling expenses), we can come to a special
arrangement by correspondence, if required.

Pleasewrite whether you agree to this proposition.

Yoursfaithfully,N. Lenin
